For those who want fun, the hotel is situated well, down at Bamburi Beach, pretty much central. Can be reached from Mombassa by taxi for about 600 KSH. Although it was quite close to the main season I was able to haggle the price down from 3000 to 2500 shillings. I was quite satisfied with the hotel and would stay here again. They have self contained apartments where mainly Muzungus stay with their black wives or girlfriends. The apartments are a little worn out but are very spacious and the main thing, the showers are like a waterfall. Which brings us to the slight disadvantages of the other hotel rooms: The showers are only middle of the road; apart from that the rooms were very nice. Small balcony with a view across the palm trees down to the sea. The air conditioning was ok, mosquito net, large TV and a small fridge, which was adequate anyway. Oh yes, two pools, one is able to swap girls a few times each day, but it is better to register them at the reception just for safety reasons. Book a double room (no surcharge) then there will be no discussion about a surcharge for the guest. They have a nice beach restaurant with an Indian and international kitchen, the food is ok and affordable. A complete meal costs about six Euros, a bottle of beer one Euro. I mainly ordered the chicken curry or fish and chips. The seating is optimal; one has a view of the beach and is able to wave a few chicks by. It is possible to book both half and full board with the price reaching anything up to 6000 per person, but who wants hotel grub every day and that at set times…. Nooo, nobody needs anything like that. Best thing to do is book a bed and then eat when and where one likes. Conclusion: Recommendable, would stay there again. Here a few impression of the various room categories, outside views and a little bit of the hotel beach. |
